"RITE NOW" is a track of self reflection, but on some ignorant shit. Sometimes you need to say things as it is and straight to the point. In 2020, I had my back against the wall in all aspects mentally, financially and spiritually. Looking back in hindsight, all of those hardships made me who I am today. This song features young, up and coming rapper hailing from Hemlani Apartments: YxngTy. He's a promising talent that I had the pleasure of bringing into the studio to finish this record.
lyrics
Chorus;
Last year had my back against the wall, now the stock up
People fucking with the vision now don’t know the cost of
Success, Im a Don with finesse
I want all of my M’s right now, right now
Verse 1: (STRAIGHTUPJED)
If time is our biggest asset, It game time now
Everything earned, I just had to drive to find out
Wrong turns, lead me right back right on course
People tell me that goated. Im like, "of course"
Eating baby, I’m the main the course
Ima light the blunt, where the torch at
Burning hella packs of the backwoods
Scheming demon time, we run the score up
Ladies at the front door who pulled up
Ion need distractions, but ima need some head to get ahead
I just keep it straight up cuz i'm JED, thats the M/O
I grew up in the ghetto side of town, but I earned my stripes
Since the jump, young snooze always nice like woah!
(Chorus)
Verse 2: (YxngTy)
Last year had my back against the wall
Not i'm steady standing tall right now right now right now
I don't need no distraction, hold it down for the faction
Cue the lights ( cue the lights ), camera action
I get the action with a passion
I get to blasting, you the past tense
I'm a pastor, the way im preaching
I get this bread every weekend, I think i'm peaking
I know they peepin'.
Island boy , Yxngtyon the beat wylin
You know we go hard cause we coming from the islands
Whippin' in the kitchen like i'm cooking egg salad
Hopped up on the beat and started pushing like a dolly
